In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 10: Stranger
The mansion was promised to her by Lawrence and she knew that as of now, it's being processed to be transferred under her name. Kaya kahit pa anak si Lawrence ni Thelma Villafuente at future mother-in-law niya ang ina ni Gayle, kailangan pa rin dapat nito ang pagpayag ni Audrey bago sila nanatili rito. Idagdag pa ang katotohanan na dito sila noon tumira ilang buwan bago ikasal. But it seems like Lawrence was not taking her seriously. Wala ng pakialam si Audrey kung minahal man siya o hindi ng asawa ngunit dapat tratuhin siya nito nang maayos, kahit pa nasa proseso na ang divorce nila. Legally, she still had say in everything about him, lalo na sa mansion na ito na ililipat sa pangalan niya bilang compensation sa divorce agreement na pinirmahan nila. She is a person, his wife, soon-to-be former wife and he should take her seriously. Hindi siya kung ano lang. Nag-uusap na ang mga tao roon tungkol sa magiging kasal ni Lawrence at Gayle sa nalalapit na hinaharap

Nakangiting umiling si Gayle at inalo si Thelma saka marahan na nagsalita. "Tita, ex-wife ni Lawrence si Miss Audrey, we don't need to do this," she said then glanced at Audrey. "Kung wala talaga siyang matutuluyan, marami namang vacant room dito, we should let her stay." Napatingin ang mga security guard kay Audrey na simple lang ang ayos at pananamit, kumpara sa mag-iina na naroon. Sa isip nila, mukhang naghahabol talaga sa pera si Audrey at nagmamatigas. Nanatili ang kalmadong ekspresyon ni Audrey saka tinalikuran ang mga naroon. "There's no need for you to do anything," she uttered and left with her luggage. Hindi pa siya nakalalayo sa mansion ay biglang bumuhos ang malakas na ulan na kanina pa pala nagbabadya dahil sa madilim na kalangitan. Audrey shut her eyes tightly in dismay. Kung minamalas nga namab talaga... She's getting so unlucky when she's close to the Villafuente. At talagang nasasalo niya ang lahat ng 'yon. Napatingin siya sa cellphon

Regan paused for a while and Audrey thought that he would not answer her question. But then, he said in a light voice, "She's a friend." Tipid iyon at alam niyang hindi na niya dapat pahabain pa. Audrey had no intension exploring other people's stories especially if it doesn't concern her, so she quickly changed the topic. She asked the question she's dreading to know. "I hope you don't mind me asking... But may I know what are the specific symptoms of your sister's illness? It's just for me to have an idea." Regan Amadeus answered without any hesitation. "She can't see blood, it scares her. She suffers from memory loss from time to time and she will vomit and scream when she comes into contact with opposite sex. She usually can't control her fear and scream in some situations, Reina could be really hysterical at times." His jaw clenched as if the memories of those struggles that his sister had were flashing in his mind. He then sighed. Nahulog sa malalim na pag-i

Naging iritable ang ekspresyon ni Lawrence at humigpit ang hawak sa kaniyang phone nang marinig ang sinabi ni Audrey. "I am so busy, I have meetings everyday," dahilan niya. Agad na sumagot si Audrey. "Meeting na lang ba ang dahilan mo palagi?" malamig na sagot sa kaniya ng babae. "Lawrence, I would not wait for you to be available forever. You're the one who initiated this and I don't know bakit pinapatagal mo pa 'to. May pinaplano ka ng kasal niyo ni Gayle and yet, you're always busy and can't spare a time to finalize the divorce. Do you really want to get married to her?" tanong niya. Nauubos na talaga ang pasensya ni Audrey. She wanted to cut ties with them. Ayaw niya ng makita pa ang dalawa pero kung mananatiling ganito, na sa tuwing sasabihan niya ang lalake na i-finalize na nila ang divorce ay may dahilan ito, hindi matatapos 'to. She wants to go no contact with them. Audrey was a very decisive person, she knew what she wanted. The divorce was unexpected bu

Hindi na nilingon ni Audrey si Lawrence kahit narinig niya na may kinausap ito sa cellphone. Pagsakay niya sa kotse ni Lucy ay kinuha niya ang kaniyang cellphone at natigilan nang makita ang mga messages ni Saint. "Miss Audrey, if five hundred pesos would not work for you I can lower it down." "Okay lang kahit two hundred pesos per month." "Audrey? Where are you?" "If two hundred is still would not work for you, you can stay on my apartment and pay whatever amount you have. Money is not a problem!" "Miss Audrey, please respond!" Kumunot ang noo ni Audrey. Napahawak siya sa noo sa mga nabasa na messages. Is Saint freakin serious? Really? An apartment that big for only two hundred pesos or any amount? Nahihibang na ba ang lalake? Sa kabilang banda naman ay problemado si Saint na nakatingin sa kaniyang cellphone. Then he glanced at Regan who looked calm and chill while doing something on his laptop. "Master, ano'ng gagawin ko kapag hindi tinanggap ni Miss Audrey ang off

Hindi makapaniwala ang ginang sa narinig. Agad niyang tinawagan ang anak at kinumpirma nito na si Audrey na nga ang may-ari nito at hindi rin inaasahan ni Gayle na talagang babawiin na nito ngayon ang mansion. Agad nagkita ang mag-ina, nag-book na ito sa hotel para pansamantalang pananatilihan habang naghahanap pa ng ibang option. In the hotel room, Nora was pacing back and forth while Gayle was sitting on a chair, watching her mother. "Don't worry, Mommy. Hahanapan kayo ni Lawrence ng ibang malilipatan. Hindi niya kayo pababayaan..." mahinahon na sinabi ni Gayle. Nora glared at her. "That is nonsense! Why did he give that house to his ex-wife? Ano'ng iniisip niyang mararamdaman mo? Akala ko ba ay walang pake si Lawrence sa babaeng 'yon? Tumayo si Gayle at marahan na hinila ang ina para umupo sa tabi niya. "Lawrence just felt sorry for her. Narinig ko na walang trabaho si Miss Audrey at hindi rin nakapagtapos. And since gusto ni Lawrence na pumayag agad ito sa d

Regan handed her the simple present he had for the housewarming party. "Miss Serenity, we apologize for coming here so hastily. This is the only thing I was able to grab quickly as my present," the noble and tall man uttered politely to her. Napakurap si Audrey at agad na umiling. "No, it's fine, Mr. Vasquez. I appreciate it so much. No need to apologze..." Tinanggap niya 'yon saka nilingon ang katabi nitong babae. The young lady looked gentle and beautiful with a slight shy smile. "H-hello, Miss Audrey... My name is Reina," Regan's sister introduced herself enthusiastically. Audrey was confused for a while. She remembered how Regan describe Reina's symptoms and how it affects her daily life. Seeing her now, it felt like she's not sick. She looked pretty and lively. She smiled at the young lady gently. "Nice to meet you, Reina. You're very beautiful." Nilingon niya ang lahat nang naroon. "Please come in." Pagpasok ng mga ito ay siyang paglabas mula sa kusin

Hindi alintana ni Regan ang makahulugan na tingin ng tatlong kasama nila sa mesa na nanonood sa kanila. His eyes only focused on Audrey. He acted as if they were the only people on the table. "I heard that you already started working at Farwell League University, Serenity..." His tone was light and casual as if he was talking about a family matter. His little sister sitting next to him was surprised hearing that. Her eyes widened in delight. "Are you a teacher at FLU, ate Audrey?" There's excitement in her voice. Do'n din siya nag-aaral and it's a good news that Audrey was working there. Hindi maitago ang saya sa mukha ni Reina sa nalaman. Unang beses pa lang naman niya nakita si Audrey pero gusto talaga niya ito. She sees Audrey as a beautiful and gentle woman and she wants to be close to her. Si Audrey naman ay natigilan sa nakitang saya sa mga mata ni Reina. It was genuine, not fake. She smiled gently at the young lady. "I am a counselor at the counselor's office

In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 79: Not Welcome!
Half an hour ago, Audrey wanted to cook some noodles in the kitchen. Sinubukan niya kaso talagang sumakit ang legs niya dahil sa mga paso niya kaya tinawagan na lang niya ang bestfriend niyang si Lucy. Pagdating nito ay alalang-alala ang babae. Audrey had no choice but to tell everything to Lucy. Lahat ng nangyari ay kinwento niya sa matalik na kaibigan, simula sa nangyari sa kompetisyon, sa pagsabuy ng mainit na tubig ni Leandra sa kaniya, and even the fact that Lawrence went to infirmary with such request and demands.Kaya naman gigil na gigil si Lucy matapos marinig ang buong kwento ng nangyari. "Ang mga hayop na 'yon talaga! 'Yang si Leandra, ayaw ko na talaga sa babae na 'yan noon pa. When you're still her sister in law, she bullied you and treated you as if you are her nanny. Ngayon na divorce ka na sa gagó niyang kuya, talatang pinapakialaman at kinakalaban ka pa rin niya. Ang pangit-pangit talaga ng ugali ng babaeng 'yan, sobra na!"Napailing si Audrey saka bumuntong-hininga.

Agad siyang yumakap sa Kuya Lawrence niya at agad siyang umiyak, hindi pa rin nauubos ang luha mula kanina. "Kuya, please! Palabasin mo ako rito. Ayoko dito! Please, kuya. I don't like it here, I don't belong in this place!" Ang ina niya ay tinignan siya, awang awa at tila nadudurog ang puso para sa anak. "Alalang-alala kami sayo ng kuya mo, Leandra. As soon as we heard the news that you were in trouble, we immediately went to find that bîtch to release you from here, but she refused to let you out no matter what! And that Vasquez, I think he is determined to protect Audrey. And were you even thinking? Bakit kinalaban mo pa talaga si Reina knowing na isa siyang Vasquez!? How dare you mess with their family!" "Mom! I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Please get me out of her quickly! All the news tomorrow will definitely be about me being taken away by the police! How embarrassing would that be? I don't want it! Kuya, you will definitely help me, right?" Punong-puno ng luha ang m
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 77: Triggered
Maingat ang paghawak ni Regan kay Audrey. Tila ba babasagin siya na kailangan talaga ingatan. Kahit sa pagpapasakay nito sa kaniya sa kotse ay talagang dahan-dahan upang hindi masagi ang mga paso niya. After getting in the car, Audrey could see the condition of her legs clearly. After applying ice, her legs were now swollen. Napabuntong hininga siya habang pinagmamasdan iyon. Regan sat in the driver's seat, and he felt a little guilty seeing her wounds even clearer. After all, he was the one who gave Audrey the thermos cup, and he also put the hot water in it. If he hadn't given her the thermos cup, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened. Wala sanang maitatapon na mainit na tubig si Leandra kay Audrey. There was a deafening silence in the car. Pansin ni Audrey ang malalim na pag iisip ni Regan. "What are you thinking about? Parang ang lalim," aniya sa magaan na boses. He didn't have this expression in the infirmary just now. Could it be because of th
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 76: Release her!
"Keep it on for a while longer," ani Regan, tinutukoy ang ice pack na nagbibigay ginhawa kahit papaano kay Audrey sa sitwasyon niya. After a while, just as the ice was removed, the door of the infirmary was pushed open loudly. Pumasok ang pamilyang Villafuente, nangunguna ang ina nila na sinundan ni Lawrence at Gayle. Kasunod nila ang ama ni Gayle na sumama roon. "You, bitch! Give me back my daughter! Pinadampot mo siya sa mga pulis! Kausapin mo sila ngayon at ipa-release mo si Leandra!" Sinigaw iyon ni Thelma habang dinuduro siya. On the other hand, Lawrence was somewhat calm and rational. Nabigla pa siya mang makita ang lagay ni Audrey ngunit nang makita si Regan Amadeus sa tabi niya ay nagbago ang ekspresyon nito. "Sobra na ang ginawa mo, Audrey! We can apologize to you, mamghihingi ako ng tawad sayo para sa kapatid ko pero kaya hindi mo na kailangan na ipadampot siya sa mga pulis! Call the police now then tell them to release her, then we will negotiate later to

Leandra came back to her senses. Napatayo siya, nanlalaki ang mga mata. "No, you can't do that to me!" she screamed like a madman. Tinignan niya ang principal. "You must not call the police on me! If you call the police, my life will be over! Hindi pwede. I am also from the Villafuente family! My brother is on the school board. Hindi niyo pwedeng kalimutan 'yon!" she cried. Absolutely not! Hindi siya papayag. Never in her life did she imagine that she would be brought to the police station.Her eyes were full of tears. They must not call the police! Siya rin ang nag-iisang babaeng anak ng Villafuente. She's their princess and she had all the people's attention in their city. Once they called the police on her and she went to jail, she would be ostracized by all the rich families and she would inevitably become the target of their scorn. Pati pamilya niya ay damay at talagang malalagot siya sa kuya niya no'n. Principal Lee hesitated a little... after all, the Villafuentes w

Taas noo niyang tinignan si Leandra. Audrey's eyes became sharper, staring at the lady. "Who told you that?" tanong niya. Leandra's eyes dodged her gaze, but she still said with determination, "Don't worry about who told me that! Anyway, this test paper is the original test questions for the competition. Don't deny it! You helped Reina cheat because you have a good and close relationship with her! Bakit? Dahil gusto mo siyang manalo, 'di ba?" The people present were once again ignited with anger. Muling do'n na-focus ang attention nila, sa pambibintang kay Audrey. If it was really like what Leandra said, Audrey had the audacity in challenging the nerves of each of them. The long-lasting glory of the Department of Psychology has always been because of the annual psychological knowledge competition. And now, someone actually cheated in the school competition! Audrey smiled indifferently and stretched out her hand to get everyone's attention. "Please listen to me... Miss
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 73: How did she know?
Miss Vanessa, Professor Henry, the principal and all the judges were shocked and confused when they saw the test questions. They received a new set. Iba iyon sa test questionnaires na natanggap nila kaninang umaga at iyon ang inaasahan nilang gagamitin sa competition. All the contestants only had ten minutes to answer the questions. Pagkatapos ng unang round na 'yon ay nakabibiglang forty na estudyante lang ang nakalusot para sa susunod na round. Reina advanced to the next round while Leandra was immediately eliminated. Halos padabog siyang umexit. Kinuha niya ang bag niya saka galit na galit na kinuha ang crumpled na test paper mula roon. Ang alipores niyang si Gina ay agad siyang nilapitan para aluhin siya. "It's okay, Leandra. This is just a competition. At isa pa, si Audrey ang nag-organize no'n, so it's no big deal!" "Go away, Gina. Layuan mo ako!" she pushed her away as she threw tantrums. Gigil niyang pinunit ang test paper saka iyon tinapon sa kung saan. Iniwan

Tumayo si Regan at kinuha ang pot kung nasaan ang iba pang tsaa na nagawa niya. Umuusok pa iyon. Dinala niya 'yon sa mesa kung nasaan si Audrey na pinagmamasdan siya. "Drink more of this tea. Ubusin mo," saad nito sa kaniya. Bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Audrey nang makita ang sinasabi nitong dapat niyang ubusin. "It's too much! Hindi ko 'yan mauubos, Mr. Vasquez." Sa dami no'n ay pwede pa siya ro'n maligo! It's an exaggeration, pero talagang marami iyon. It's impossible for her na ubusin ang lahat ng 'yon sa isang upuan lang. "It's for your health. It will make you feel even better." Regan smiled at her. "For your health." Rong Yu smiled gently. Hindi niya alam kung seryoso ba ito. Napatingin siya sa wall clock saka muling tinignan ang lalake. "Mr. Vasquez, it's already late. You should go home and rest..." Marahan niyang sinabi rito. Tumayo si Regan at tumango. "Remember to drink all of that." He reminder her. Pilit siyang napangiti. Hinatid niya ito sa may pin
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 71: Preparation
Mas naging abala si Audrey sa araw bago ang kompetisyon. Halos tapos naman na ang paghahanda pero kailangan niyang balik-balikan ang mga detalye para masiguro na maayos ang lahat. Naging abala siya at ang mga estudyanteng katulong niya sa pag-organize ng competion sa pag-decorate sa venue kung saan iyon gaganapin bukas. Even Professor Henry was worried and stayed late with them. "Have you already secured the test questions for the competition?" Professor Henry asked. Tumango naman si Audrey. "Opo, Professor. It's already in the safe in the consultation room. I'm the only one who has the key to the safe." Professor Henry nodded. "That's good to hear." Nakangiti nitong sagot sa kaniya. Nang nauna ng umuwi si Professor Henry ay naiwan do'n si Audrey. She tested the various equipment in the auditorium again. She needed to make sure that everything will go as planned. After everything was checked, it was already 11:30 in the evening. Nakahinga nang maluwag s
